00:00seeing them say goodbye was really hard Todd and Julie Chrisley facing 30 years in prison
00:10it was such a shock well this is like Twilight Zone I still don't know how to put into words
00:16the betrayal that we have experienced President Trump is set to pardon reality TV stars Julie
00:22and Todd Chrisley watching my mom walk out was an amazing feeling that's what you've been waiting
00:27on for three years we broke up a month ago Savannah Chrisley's romance with Robert Shiver has come to an
00:34end I was a little concerned about Robert his wife tried to kill him allegedly Lindsay Shiver she was
00:40charged with a scheme to kill her husband he's no further along today than he is the day that I met
00:45him Lindsay and Kyle did not always behave and do things in the manner in which Todd would like
00:51Lindsay did around five or so seasons of Chrisley Knows Best one day she and my mom got into an
00:57argument Lindsay just started going absolutely insane we had no more involvement with her until
01:03after the indictment she does not want a relationship with me she does but she wants you to be in a better
01:09place how can Savannah know what place I'm in when Savannah doesn't even know me it's ridiculous I
01:14can't go see my mom and my dad without it being uncomfortable because of her that is your brother he
01:19is my son and he will be welcome anywhere I stand because you're not going out here holy rolling and
01:26saying that you're fighting for the world when you won't fight for your brother chase is not case it's
01:31literally like a blank show go to therapy I was against it at first you know my how I feel about that you gotta
01:38talk to somebody it's very sad you know to watch him suffer and know that there's nothing that I
01:44can do to help him I don't know what my purpose is there's a part of me that is so afraid that he's
01:50gonna die I literally like I don't even want to try to have a relationship with him
01:56let's talk about your parents feedback do you think it was really gonna happen not really at first I
02:13didn't think it was real because I thought all the last times it was real but this time it is so I just
02:20waited patiently I also made you laugh but you didn't look at it honey I didn't know what's it
02:27like having them back home now since they've been gone for so long I have to clean it's visible
02:34while you're in prison were there any times with the kids where you were a little worried I worried
02:46about my children every day that I was in 24 hours every single day I mean always something to worry
02:51about Savannah had some really hard times while you were away she had this breakup with Robert
02:57and how did you respond to that that relationship just was going to be hard and I don't believe that
03:03that was Savannah's true love in my heart I believe that Nick was her true love Savannah Chrisley
03:09oh my gosh yes I think the hardest thing that I had to go through in prison was the day that Nick
03:26passed away Nick was my ex-fiancé and we were together 11 months and got engaged and things just
03:35kind of started falling apart and that's when I called off the engagement but Nick and I kept dating
03:39Nick was an amazing dude he was an amazing guy amazing friend I mean he's a part of our family
03:45Nick was there through it all he went and dropped dad off at prison with me he helped me move the kids
03:51he painted my dining room that god-awful color that it is now but I refused to change it but he came
03:58to Atlanta during our trial and literally drove us every day down to the courthouse
04:04and he would always hug me every morning he'd come in yeah
04:08he would always come in every morning he'd say you got this pop you got it I'm proud of you
04:20former Anaheim Ducks player Nick Cordelis was killed overnight in a motorcycle crash Nick was
04:26engaged to Savannah daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley he also appeared on her family's reality show
04:31Chrisley knows best I remember walking into that visitation room and Savannah turned around and
04:38she started crying and she just fell into my arms and I said what is it and she said he's gone daddy
04:43and I said who's gone and Chase wasn't standing there so obviously I thought it's got to be Chase
04:50I said Chase and she goes no daddy Nick and I just remember that my knees gave away
04:56my legs just just caved in and she held me up and uh we went outside and sat at one of the picnic
05:04tables and we sat there and cried for hours it was just horrible it was hard to even wrap my head
05:09around that it had happened that is one of the worst parts of when you get bad news in prison
05:14you can't be there to to hug your child to get them through those tough those tough things that happen
05:21he passed away on the 23rd and I had text him at 9 40 in the morning and I said please don't tell me
05:30you're gone please I love you please don't be gone I don't believe it and then November 9th I sent him
05:38a text and said I miss you I'm struggling so bad tonight just life as a whole I wish so badly I could
05:44call you because I know you would show up that's just what you do please just know I love you more than
05:49anything in this world and I'm so sorry I didn't love you better
05:52I don't think that Savannah has still properly processed the grief and I say that because of
06:01things that she has shared with me and I think that Savannah felt like that they would find their
06:08way back to each other that was a hard one to grieve it was so and I just I'm the type to where
06:19I just take it as soon as it happens and then it takes me a while to actually grieve but I would say
06:27every couple months I may have a breakdown and of just like everything hits me and it's super hard
06:35and I mean I definitely struggle in my own ways and I'm in my therapy but like I'm gonna fight through
06:43it the last two years of the trauma that Savannah's had to endure she's been hurt so much but I look
06:52at it now and I think that she's taking her life back and I want her to have that because of any
06:57any person in the world that deserves to have a beautiful life it's her it's my daughter
07:06this is a good little treat that we got to do today I mean you got to hang out and kind of learn
07:27she looked cute today thank you you look very beautiful yourself this color looks really good
07:33on you well thank you okay oh thank you you're welcome honey of course thank you ladies go well
07:41we're gonna get us something good now ain't we for sure it ain't gonna hurt a weasel like you but
07:47I'm not you know I always eat something good and I think about it and I said oh lord I wish I
07:53hadn't eat that but it was sure was good hey you only live once and miss julie's a good cook
08:00yeah I'm excited to try her cooking well Jody what do you and uh chase plan on doing y'all just
08:09gonna be loved like two little birds all the time in love and never do anything about it
08:13well no chase um chase was in the shower and he was like hey um we need to talk whenever I get out
08:24of the shower and I was like oh gosh okay so he gets out and then he he tells me to close the bedroom
08:30door and he sits on the bed and he starts off by saying you know how much I love you right and
08:36immediately I said what did you do and he's like nothing well the next thing I know he gets up off the
08:42bed and he starts to pull something out of his pocket of I guess oh I want to marry right and I knew
08:50immediately so I turned around so that I wouldn't see the ring or anything and I was like chase
08:57get up and he's like literally just kneeling right there and he's like trying to continue with his
09:04little speech and I'm like chase get up we're not doing this right here we're not doing this right now
09:09like and of course he gets a little upset because he's like I can't believe and I'm like I'm not
09:14turning you down I'm turning down the what you're doing environment like ew oh we're going out
09:20on a farm on something to be proud of right and not a darn bedroom listen that's kind of crazy at this
09:28point anything's better than that yeah it's only up from here yeah that's right
09:34just so we're clear I didn't say no because I don't want to be proposed to my chase I just said
09:42no to the environment and you know the whole scenario of him trying to pop the question in
09:49our bedroom chase won't stop blowing me up so we're going to give him a call okay let's see
09:54what the heck he wants hey honey is she being nice am I not always she's always nice well nanny you
10:05can't hurt my feelings but you hurt the average person's feelings well they they don't have a tough
10:11coat on y'all must be filming that's why you ain't cussing oh no no no we're behaving like
10:19ladies ladies nanny you told me last week that you got your
10:23chase chrisley she did inappropriate did you know nanny well now just because I said that it
10:34mean that oh jody did you tell me any about how you wanted to try chase hard bye we'll talk to you
10:42late dummy bye go ask for forgiveness from the lord for lying I wish nothing but the best for jody
10:51and chase I know it's hard for people to believe but I love both of them but I want to make the family
11:00come on board and let's all come aboard and get on this ship and let's sail together I think it was
11:06important for nanny and I to hang out today and have a little girl time and to get to know one another
11:14and I look forward to having a relationship with the rest of his family and just being here to support
11:23chase and along for the ride chase I want him to have a wonderful beautiful personal life
11:31with a relationship that feeds his soul that is going to be a wonderful mother to his children
11:39going that's going to be a great wife someone that I'm going to like that's important because if I
11:45don't like them I mean can you imagine being in my family and being married to someone that I just
11:50don't give a about you sit down there I have an ability to be around someone for 10 minutes and
11:59know if this is someone I want to spend 10 more minutes with have you spent 10 minutes with jody
12:04yet I don't know jody I mean I jody was there the day that we got home but that was five minutes I
12:11think that I spoke to her there's been really no interaction between us and jody things are I feel
12:19sad about me without actually knowing me whenever other people in the family are not very fond of
12:24him then obviously I'm linked to that maybe I'm not what they want me to be or whatever just because
12:31they may disagree with chase not only did Kyle Chrisley answer our questions about his father's
12:46failure to pay state income taxes we now know he's been subpoenaed by the state of Georgia Chrisley's
12:52estranged son Kyle not only confirms it but says his dad even bragged about it things trying to hide money
12:57he doesn't like to pay what he owes I think it is my dad's reality like I said he's narcissist he
13:03believes that he has millions of dollars having a show being on television you know we're we're not
13:10unlike most families and we all have our our issues and have disagreements everything but
13:18unfortunately sometimes it's played out what's your relationship like with Kyle and Lindsay today
13:25like I said they're my grandchildren too and I love them too they have a special place in my heart
13:32they had a different way of life and it's like I tell them they wanted to be loved too
13:40sometimes you might say things and do things that you regret we all have and sometimes you can't
13:48take back that's what my parents tried to instill in us be careful the words you say because you
13:54might have to eat them someday how is your relationship with Kyle and Lindsay growing up
14:00nope not going there
14:03um I don't want to go down that vein yeah
14:14when it comes to Kyle I mean he literally just took our childhoods away like dad was worried
14:21about him being in this crack house in that crack house and you know is he alive is he dead is you
14:28know what legal problems is he getting himself into like he was always it didn't matter if it he wanted
14:35the attention whether it was good attention bad attention as long as it was on him he was happy
14:39in 2017 we're filming Julie gets a phone call and I see her take her mic off when I saw her do that I knew something was wrong
14:51and she said they're saying it's the Georgia Department of Revenue and that you owe like three million dollars in Georgia state income tax
15:01I said that's a lie we're not even residents of Georgia I said we're residents of the state of Florida
15:07I get on the phone with my attorney Steve Friedberg at the time
15:10I said Steve find out what's going on here
15:13then we had to prove that we had been there six months and one day out of the year
15:17this took two years
15:19and during that time our attorneys come to us and tell us do you know where this is originated from
15:27and I said no he said uh this originated from Mark Braddock and Kyle and Lindsay
15:36it was like someone had had just sucked the it's like all the air just left the room
15:43I had you know I had posted some tweets that I shouldn't going back looking back
15:49as a parent I should have been better
15:51shouldn't have done that I should have taken the higher road I should I'm the parent
16:01but when you're when you're that hurt you strike back out of hurt
16:05and then I remember sitting in a restaurant in Charleston South Carolina and getting a phone call
16:12I walked outside because he identified himself as a police officer
16:16within three minutes I realized that she had filed a police report
16:21saying that Chase and I were blackmailing her with a sex tape
16:27that she had participated in with some
16:30I don't even remember what the kid's name was
16:32he was on The Bachelor or something
16:34he asked me if I could meet him
16:37that's when I got the warning that Chase had incriminating evidence against me
16:42nude photos and had obtained this tape for five thousand dollars
16:48nobody's ever had a conversation with her about a sex tape
16:50ever
16:52dude first of all
16:54I don't want I wouldn't want any sex tape out there of anybody in my family
16:59I've never purchased a sex tape of her
17:02never seen a sex tape of her
17:03don't want to see a sex tape of her
17:05never heard another word about it
17:14he never heard another word about it
17:16I never heard another word about it
17:18and I remember telling Chase
17:19I don't want to hear about this trash
17:20I said it better not
17:23it better not be out there
17:25and it never did
17:27because it never existed
17:28I called Lindsay
17:30when I mean I'm on the phone with this guy from the
17:33the sheriff's department and I said sir this is what happened
17:36and it's exactly what I just told you
17:37I mean you put that stuff out there
17:39that's out there forever
17:40not to mention legal trouble that I could have gotten into
17:44before the trial
17:46she wanted to meet with our attorneys
17:47because she had a lot of things that she needed to get off her chest
17:49and she told that the sex tape didn't exist
17:53I think once she saw this is for real
17:55you know these are my parents freedom on the line here
17:59I need to tell the truth
18:01so this is the transcript from when Lindsay was testifying at our criminal trial
18:05when you were talking to and contacting the FBI about things that Todd had said
18:09he was announcing on his podcast and other places
18:13that he did not do these things right
18:15yes sir
18:16and again today you don't believe those allegations were true do you
18:20no sir
18:21I talked to Lindsay and Kyle
18:26she'll always call me
18:28and ask me how I'm doing
18:30and she always ask me do I need anything
18:33I said no I'm good
18:35and you know usually with Kyle
18:38I just ask him how's he doing
18:40did he have a great day
18:41and what's going on what he's doing
18:44and he'll always say the same thing
18:46Nanny I love you
18:47I said I love you too
18:49what was your reaction when you found out that Lindsay had worked with both us
18:55well I really don't want to talk about that
19:00I didn't get engaged in that
19:03I'm going to leave that alone
19:05Kyle came to see me one time
19:08I've never had an apology from Lindsay
19:11I have had an apology from Kyle
19:13Kyle came unannounced
19:16I had had no communication with him
19:18and I remember walking
19:19into the visitation room and him standing there
19:22and I was in a state of shock
19:24and he hugged me
19:27and went to the vending machines
19:29and bought me a drink and some chips or whatever
19:32and we sat and talked
19:36he apologized for his involvement
19:39for the things that he had done and said
19:42and that he has no way of
19:44he said if I could take them back I would
19:47but I can't
19:48and I'm asking can we just
19:50can we just pick up from here
19:51and move forward
19:53and that wasn't possible for me
19:55Lindsay came to see me one time
20:00and it was in the press the next week
20:02so friend or foe
20:08daughter or enemy
20:10so Grayson what has it been like with having your parents home now
20:35it sucks
20:36are you not happy that I'm home
20:40no I am
20:41I am
20:42you missed your dad didn't you
20:44I did
20:45it's not when you get on your clean and reward path
20:47because we're not one to live in the field
20:50and your room literally looks like a hoarder
20:53that would never happen
20:55had this been on my watch
20:57first of all
20:57half the time
20:58I'm not even here
20:59second
21:00second of all
21:01I've been keeping this show going while you've been gone
21:06y'all have housekeepers
21:07and they refuse to go in there
21:09because they're afraid they're going to get bitten by something
21:11that's not true
21:11it's not even bad
21:14so you're just doing the Laura Trump on the field
21:16that's why you're not doing the one with Juju
21:18and maybe no
21:19as usual I've got to do the heavy lifting
21:22well you did just get out of the field
21:24oh so we're going to live with that for the rest of my life
21:27you will not shame me
21:29I was going to say that's proud
21:31but I ain't going to lie about that
21:33my fight for my parents is now over
21:43I had a mission
21:45I set out to do something
21:46and I got them home
21:47but with that
21:49now I've been thrust in the political world
21:52so we're doing our Laura Trump interview
21:55I want the truth to be told
21:57and however it ends up
21:58you're still getting that
22:10I'm ready to get this over with
22:16I know
22:16everybody's like
22:17nervous
22:19it's been such a long time coming
22:22to finally be able to tell the truth
22:24because you have to remember
22:25we couldn't do press
22:27and talk about anything about the trial
22:28or about the case
22:30or anything
22:30because our attorneys would say
22:32don't talk about it
22:33we don't want the prosecution
22:34to grab one line that you say
22:36and then use it against you
22:38yeah
22:38that's your first big interview
22:43I know
22:45yeah

24:01for us to say
24:01what we needed to say
24:02and what we felt
24:03compelled to say

24:21do you not think
24:22I should be there

24:28I don't need you
24:29having to get up
24:29off the sofa
24:30and go and throw up
24:31every five minutes
24:32you can't treat your body
24:34the way he's treated his body
24:36and put into your body
24:37what he's put into his body
24:39and expect it to not have
24:41some issues
24:41that's
24:43that's the thing
24:44we've always told him
24:45and he acts like
24:47I don't know where this
24:47is coming from
24:48I don't know what's going on
24:49you know exactly
24:51what's going on

25:15where to begin
25:15how do you feel about
25:17your family's interview today
25:19I found out through TikTok
25:20that my family was doing the show
25:22and I was not a part of it
25:24well I don't think
25:25they purposely exclude you
25:27but I do
25:28I do feel that
25:29I definitely do
25:30I think it was intentionally done
25:32the way it was done
25:34to leave me out
25:35that was Savannah
25:37that was a calculated move
25:39the level of betrayal
25:41I mean it's bull
25:43you would think
25:46that we would all
25:47come like united
25:49and now there's going to be
25:50there's speculations
25:51why I'm not there
25:52why this
25:53why that
25:53is there problems here
25:54is there problems
25:55you know people take stories

26:07one time
26:08for allegedly slapping
26:09the out of somebody
26:10which I didn't do
26:11I mean obviously
26:12thank you
26:13did you have the coffee set up
26:14yes
26:14thank you
26:17I think they could have
26:20influenced you being on it
26:21by speaking up for you
26:23and saying that they would like you
26:24I don't think they would have
26:25turned it down
26:25I'm going to read you
26:29the text he sent me
26:30I said the fact that I had
26:31that y'all are doing
26:32a family interview
26:33and I have to find out
26:34from a TikToker
26:35I said I think that's
26:36taking a jab
26:37and he said
26:39Chase there's no jab taken
26:41and we didn't find out
26:42that they wanted
26:44Grayson
26:44up until two days ago
26:46it was always supposed to be
26:47me, your mom, and Savannah
26:49which I was told
26:50it was him and his mom
26:51he says this has nothing
26:52to do with you being kicked out
26:54do you want to be talked about
26:55being arrested
26:56and I was like
26:57dude
26:57talk about me being arrested
26:59what the hell do you think
27:00they're going to interview you about
27:01no we're not going to go down that road
27:11we're not going down that road
27:12because we're not feeding into
27:14the tabloids grabbing and saying
27:16that Chase has been alienated
27:17just like Savannah
27:18I mean just like Lindsay and Kyle
27:19he sent me this
27:21this picture of him
27:23he was like look how beautiful
27:24your mom looks
27:25and I was like
27:25she looks amazing
27:26that's petty
27:27my dad is petty
27:30that's where I get it from
27:31you know I'm petty
27:34well
27:35it's just not right
27:36the whole pick up situation
27:39is not right
27:40leaving me out of the interview
27:43is not right
27:43it's not like I'm like
27:44some external part of the family
27:46like I've been a part of
27:47every single thing
27:49now that it's been
27:51two years of dating him
27:52I feel like I have
27:53a pretty good idea
27:55of the relationship
27:57between Chase and his mother
27:58Chase and his father
27:59in a perfect world
28:01the family dynamic
28:03is mended
28:04and you know
28:05everyone finds peace
28:07and love
28:08good luck
28:09good luck
28:11it's never going to
28:14get better or improve
28:15if
28:16it's not confronted
28:17you know how many times
28:18I've reached out to Savannah
28:19I'm not saying just Savannah
28:22your parents
28:23should be like
28:24hey
28:25everyone's going to listen to us
28:26because we're
28:27y'all's parents
28:28and we're going to have a sit down
28:29and we're going to figure this out
28:31because this is not a way to live
28:32I know that I've reached out
28:36countless times
28:37it's just
28:38it's not reciprocating
28:39on both ends
28:40I'm not going to beg anybody
28:41to have a relationship with me
28:42that doesn't want one
28:43he has to get to a place in life
28:46to where he can be around alcohol
28:47and not drink it
28:49and he's not there
28:50I mean he himself
28:52is still drinking
28:52he's not going to convince me otherwise
28:54even though he likes to say
28:55he's sober
28:56he's not
28:57of course dad says
28:59well Savannah
29:00he's my son
29:01like I'm not
29:01I'm not going to
29:02you know
29:03let him fall
29:04and if that's what dad wants to do
29:07he can do it
29:08but I don't have to be a party to it
29:10everything's not just going to be
29:13forgotten about
29:13I'm trying to wrap this
29:14scene up
29:15I'm getting pissed off
29:18after my parents went away
29:26like when I started drinking
29:27like I would just go
29:29and go and go
29:29and go
29:30and go
29:30I've just gotten to a point
29:31since I've like
29:32stopped drinking
29:33and stopped partying
29:34like I've got to do everything
29:35I can do to protect
29:36my own mental health
29:37Chase says that he's sober now
29:39do I believe it?
29:40No
29:40I don't personally believe
29:42he's drinking right now
29:43and I don't know if that's me
29:45lulling myself into a false sense of hope
29:47I can tell you that I will know
29:49What are you feeling right now?
30:08there's a lot of emotions
30:14I just need to go and handle
30:18a lot of trauma
30:20that I got buried
30:21and I just thought
30:23that I could bury it
30:24bury it
30:24bury it
30:25you can't
30:30are you scared?
30:34yeah
30:35I am scared
30:35I just gotta find myself
30:42I hope that today
30:47isn't the new beginning
30:48for me
30:49you have to win this battle
30:55you can't let the federal government
30:57win this battle
30:58you can't let
30:59you can't let fire
31:00no we didn't win
31:01we lost 28 months
31:03of our lives
31:04so we didn't win
31:05my life story
31:06is not going to be
31:07that I went to prison
31:08for 28 months
31:09your life story
31:11does not have to be
31:12that I had an alcohol
31:13and substance
31:14in your spot
31:14that's not your life story
31:16that's a part
31:17that's a chapter
31:18you are
31:18unfortunately
31:20I dealt with all this
31:22so I don't have
31:25I don't have
31:25the same mentality
31:27of dealing with
31:28this is different
31:29this is not the same
31:30as you dealing with
31:32I'm not comparing you
31:34I'm simply saying
31:35both had addiction issues
31:37I'm not saying
31:39I'm not
31:41I think there's
31:43disappointment
31:44do you think
31:45you've handled
31:45every situation
31:46the best way you could
31:47don't compare
31:48your situation
31:49of being an addict
31:51to your mother
31:52and I going to prison
31:52for something we didn't get
31:53I'm not referring to that
31:55you never stop
31:58to think about
31:59that Savannah
32:00for 28 months
32:01the work that he's been on
32:03it's awesome
32:05you talk about trauma
32:06and you think
32:07this 28 months
32:08has not been traumatic
32:09for her
32:09you think all the trauma
32:11that she's had
32:12bringing up for that
32:13and then
32:14just going to prison
32:15and then losing
32:16a dick on top of that
32:18all of that stuff
32:20was not bad
32:20we've had a boat
32:28local trauma
32:29but we cannot
32:31let that trauma
32:32divide us
32:33the next situation
32:36is something
32:37that was a definite
32:38but do you think
32:45there will be
32:45some emotional
32:46journey
32:47there will be
32:48a lot of
33:17Well, Todd?
33:27Yep.
33:29How are you feeling?
33:33You know, I thought that going through this with Kyle would kill me, but maybe it was
33:41just preparation for what I'm going through today.
33:43I'm sad that I'm leaving, that I had to bring my son to a rehab.
33:49I'm sad that I'm getting on a plane and he's not on it with me.
33:53Even though we've been through a lot, I truly believe that God did not bring us this far
34:01to drop us off and that God will keep a protective hedge around my son and a healing hand on him
34:09at all times.
34:09It's because that's what I pray for all of my children every day and every night.
34:14Chase and I are definitely on rocky terms because over the past two and a half years,
34:27he has not helped me at all.
34:29As much as Savannah says she wants my help, I don't think Savannah actually wants any help.
34:33Chase and Savannah have fought since they were teenagers.
34:36And that worries me because I feel like the divide is just going to continue to get bigger and bigger.
34:43I don't want to go back and forth with Savannah.
34:45Until Savannah gets to a place where she wants to have a productive relationship with me,
34:50nothing good is going to come from it.
35:04Savannah, how are you?
35:05I mean, I'm fine just getting settled in my new place and getting, figuring out what a new reality looks like
35:15from obviously the past two and a half years.
35:19It's just a lot of adjustment.
35:20Well, it's definitely a better one.
35:26Well, I wanted to like clear the air and kind of make amends if that's something that you're open to.
35:31Well, I mean, yeah, I'm open to having a conversation for sure.
35:37Well, I know that you feel like not everybody was there for you, but I mean, obviously, you know that I was fighting my own demons.
35:46So I'm sorry for my part in it and I definitely could have showed up for you more and I just wanted to apologize to you.
35:56Yeah, I just think, you know, like a blanket I'm sorry is tough to accept.
36:09Like, I would actually like to talk about it so we don't get to the same place that we've been at.
36:17But, I mean, Samantha, I just think, I mean, you know that I wasn't like in the right headspace.
36:23I was doing all I could do to take care of myself and that's not an excuse.
36:27And thank God that you were strong enough to do what you've done.
36:31And like I've told you, like I'm beyond proud of you.
36:35I'm beyond thankful for the steps that you took and the responsibility that you carried.
36:40Because, like, I was a mess.
36:45No, I know that and I appreciate that.
36:47But it doesn't take away from, like, I'm, you know, the amount of, first off, I'm not truly happy with how I handled my stress and the way that it came across.
37:03The past two and a half years, nobody won time.
37:07Because I'm the strong one.
37:08I'm the tough one.
37:09And it's always been said, well, you're the strong one.
37:12You can deal with it.
37:14I never wanted to deal with it by myself.
37:17I never wanted to not have people to show up for me.
37:21I mean, hell, Papa Harvey didn't even wish me a happy birthday.
37:25Like, I know that I have had no one to care about me.
37:29And that's why me, Grayson, and Chloe stuck so close together.
37:33Because that was the only people I felt like I had.
37:37And I'm labeled as the bitch.
37:39And the this and the that.
37:41But nobody knew the pressure that I was under.
37:44And it, I, I don't want to control or be the one to, you know, you said, you just, Savannah doesn't want the help.
37:56She wants to say she does, but she doesn't.
37:58No, I would have loved to have had it.
37:59And I don't want to be the strong one.
38:03But if I wouldn't have, then I don't know what the hell would have happened.
38:07So, I get that I can come across as bitchy or controlling or this or that.
38:13But there comes a point to where that's the only way you can come across.
38:16Well, I mean, what I can do is show up for you now and in the future.
38:28Because I can't go back and change anything, but I'm sorry, Savannah.
38:32And I love you.
38:34I love you.
38:35And I'm here if you need me.
38:36You know, I am too.
38:40So, hopefully this is the beginning of a new chapter.
38:45Well, I'm proud of you for taking the steps that you're taking.
38:48You've always had so much potential if you just let yourself fall into it and work for it.
38:53And I'm proud of you.
38:57And, I mean, spend like two years, like you lost those two years of your 20s.
39:01You need to take the next two years and get and spend that time for you and go and do whatever makes you happy.
39:08Because you're not, you don't have to carry that burden anymore.
39:11Oh, I know.
39:12Trust me.
39:13I am.
39:14I've already started my travel journey.
39:16I am gone.
39:19I'm gone.
39:20I'm doing it.
39:22Yeah.
39:23So, you don't got to remind me on that one.
39:25Trust me.
39:26I remind myself enough.
39:28I love you.
39:29You know, and thank you, I mean, just for everything.
39:33And I'm sorry again.
39:34And if you need me, I'm here.
39:36I love you.
39:42I've learned not to take anything for granted.
39:47I've learned that time is the only thing that money can't buy back.
39:51So, I'm not going to waste it arguing over small, petty things that don't really matter at the end of the day.
39:58And that family is really all you got.
40:03Now that my parents are back, I feel like life is starting to get back to the way it was before.
40:09I mean, it's going to take some time.
40:10I think in the past two and a half years, I learned that I'm very resilient and stronger than what I thought I was.
40:19I sacrificed so much of my personal life and myself.
40:23And I feel like I lost out on so much and so much of me had gotten hardened that I was like, all right, as bad as all this has sucked, like something really good came from it and it wasn't wasted.
40:35And from that has come now a lot of other opportunities.
40:39So, I really don't know what the future looks like for me.
40:43I'm going to D.C. on Tuesday and I've got two days full of meetings.
40:48Who knows?
40:49Maybe tackle another mission after this.
40:55And still today, we're not rushing into this.
40:58We're going to give them all the time, all the space that they need.
41:01We'll get used to it.
41:02We're just going to give everybody an opportunity.
41:05Looking forward to getting back to South Carolina and getting back to all my friends.
41:08I'm hoping when we get back and kind of get settled that, you know, we can take some trips and enjoy life and just do some things before, you know, God says, you come on home.
41:21Let's just all be thankful and know that it will be a new beginning.
41:28And we're going to come out bigger and better in the end.
41:32When we were in prison, we were both doing the same thing.
41:40We would take magazines, if it was new places, if it was new hotels or places we wanted to go.
41:47And literally, we have boxes of things that we have sent home.
41:51I have recipes.
41:52He has recipes for me.
41:54And of things that we want to do and experience.
41:57And we were doing the same thing and didn't even know it.
42:00We're going to build a house.
42:01It will be our first time building a house from the ground up.
42:04You know, I've always renovated and bought something or whatever.
42:07But we're going to build the home that we plan to stay in.
42:11And it's going to have everything that she wants in it.
42:14And, yeah, that's it.
42:16And hopefully I'm going to have beautiful grandchildren.
42:18If they're not, they're not mine.
